394 Entering the Cabinet and Paying the Prime Minister (2 in 1)

The six words "Governor of the World Military Affairs" made the ministers inside and outside Fengtian Hall take a breath, especially the military generals and relatives in the court, with incredible expressions on their faces.

The Ming Dynasty established the Governor's Office and the Ministry of War to prevent the military power from being the only one in power. The Ministry of War had the power to transfer troops, while the Governor's Office of the Governor's Office of the Governor had the power to control the troops. Both sides clearly stated that the division of labor was only responsible to the emperor, and no single party could lead the army independently.

If Yu Qian is allowed to govern the military affairs of the world, it means that the Ministry of War will invade the power of the Governor's Office of the Five Army. Although Yu Qian, as the Minister of War, had actually integrated the power of the unity and power, this time the emperor was officially appointed, which will completely change the division of military power.

The battle of Tumu Fort has greatly reduced the strength of the Xunqi Group. If even the Governor's Office of the Five Army becomes a symbolic yamen, then the Xunqi of the Ming Dynasty may become a mascot in the future.

Regarding the balance of power between the court, the appointment of Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu is no less than that of the title of Yu Qian as Taiping Hou.

"Your Majesty, this matter is very important, and I dare not take credit for you!"

Faced with this reward, Yu Qian chose to refuse again.

However, this time, Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu did not give him the right to refuse and said, "Yu Shaobao, I have decided, so don't refuse."

Thunder, rain and dew are both kindness. Whether it is punished or rewarded, rejecting once is already a kind of love. If you refuse one after another, you will feel a little ungrateful. To be more serious, it is to resist the order and not follow it.

Listening to the emperor calling himself "Yu Shaobao", Yu Qian understood that there was no room for discussion on this matter, so he could only sigh and take the order: "My teacher, thank Long's kindness!"

Just when all the civil and military officials thought the dust was settled, Shi Heng, the Hou of Wuqing, stood up and asked Zhu Qiyu for his order: "Your Majesty, Yu Shaobao is the pillar of my great Ming Dynasty, and he should be protected by his wife and son."

"I heard that Yu Mian, the son of Yu Shaobao, is smart and smart, and has great talent. He should become an official!"

Although Yu Qian is now ranked among the Taibao of the "Three Dukes" of the Ming Dynasty, he was unable to teach his children all his heart to become successful because he was out of town in his early years.

In addition, Yu Qian was a stubborn official and never gave favoritism to his family members, which led to his eldest son Yu Mian never passed the exam for fame and official status, and his current status is still a commoner.

For Shi Heng, Yu Qian was his own mentor, otherwise he would never be able to jump from prison to join the ranks of the marquis of the Ming Dynasty in just a few months.

When people learned to repay their kindness, Yu Qian had already been ranked first-rank official, and he could almost never be promoted. He could only wait for his death to be posthumously awarded his son. However, he could repay this kind of favor to his son and take this opportunity to recommend him to the court as an official.

Shi Heng said this. No one of the civil and military officials in the court, whether they support Yu Qian or oppose Qian, came forward to raise objections. After all, life is only a few decades, and after standing at the peak of power, they naturally have to consider future generations. If you oppose your political opponents today, you will be protected by your wife and children, and then someone will oppose you in the future.

This kind of thing that cuts off the inheritance of the family, it is best not to do it if you accumulate some good deeds.

However, compared with the envy and recognition of other officials, Chen Yichen was full of concern. You should know that Yu Qian and Shi Heng became enemies in history because of the election of Yu Qian.

But the problem is that history has changed now, and the time for Shi Heng’s recommendation is not as good as possible. So will the two of them still turn against each other?

Chen Yichen could not predict the future. He only hoped that Yu Qian would be a little more slick at this moment so that Shi Heng would not be unable to come to Taiwan.

"No!"

"A dog has no achievements and no achievements in fighting, and has not made any achievements. What qualifications are there to be awarded an official position?"

"As a great general of the imperial court, Wu Qinghou did not recommend good generals and talents, nor promoted meritorious soldiers, but recommended my son. This is extremely irresponsible for military and national affairs!"

Yu Qian said these words loudly, but the effect was that the ministers inside and outside the Fengtian Palace were stunned.

The civil and military officials, including Shi Heng, the Marquis of Wuqing, never expected that Yu Qian not only did not appreciate it, but also scolded Shi Heng in person. Should we say that we are fair and selfless, or should we say that we are extremely low in emotional intelligence?

What should come is finally here.

Facing this scene, Chen Yichen sighed. As the saying goes, the country is easy to change its nature but hard to change. He can change some historical directions with his own abilities and cannot affect a person's nature.

Yu Qian is the kind of person who can't tolerate sand in his eyes. Even if this matter is beneficial to him, he will still refuse without hesitation.

Feeling the scene a little awkward and uncontrollable, Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu personally smoothed out the situation and said, "Yu Aiqing and Wu Qing Hou had a good intention, and the subsequent meritorious soldiers will receive rewards."

According to common sense, the emperor has come out to smooth things over, so should this face be changed?

But Yu Qian retorted righteously: "Your Majesty, I have always made clear rewards and punishments, and I will never allow for fraud for personal gain. This case cannot be made and should be punished!"

When Yu Qian said this, the civil and military officials looked not only stunned, but also in an uproar.

Shi Heng, Hou of Wuqing, was even more confused on the spot. He never expected Yu Qian to be so merciless, and even slapped himself in the face with the emperor and his ministers. In an instant, his face turned red, and the anger and embarrassment brought by public humiliation made Shi Heng want to find a crack to drill down!

"Yu Shaobao is selfless and a model for all officials, and his subordinates admire him very much."

"In addition, I also believe that Wu Qinghou did not have the intention of making false claims, but was just out of kindness. This matter is just a small misunderstanding and there is no need to investigate. I would like to ask Your Majesty to continue to reward the meritorious ministers."

At the critical moment, Chen Yichen stood up to prevent the situation from deteriorating, and at the same time gave both sides and the emperor a step.

He didn't know how effective he would do this, but if Shi Heng really turned against Yu Qian because of this, it would be a misfortune for both public and private!

"Aiqing Chen said it well, just a trivial matter. Yu Shaobao and Wu Qing Hou's mother need to be hurt by the harmony."

After saying that, Zhu Qiyu gave Cheng Jing a wink and asked him to continue reading the imperial edict and take a look at the matter.

Cheng Jing understood it, and it did not mean that Yu Qian and Shi Heng said too much, so he read out at the top of his voice: "Chen Yichen, the Minister of War, was ordered to enter the cabinet to participate in the maintenance service."

Before the civil and military officials could recover from Yu Qian's episode, they heard a reward that shocked them even more. Chen Yichen actually entered the cabinet as the Minister of War to participate in the maid service, and did not explain that he was given a title to be a Void position. Does that mean that he has achieved the integration of the cabinet and control the army?

"Your Majesty, no!"

These four words sounded in Fengtian Palace, and they were not sent out by one person. Four or five officials in the palace expressed their opposition at the same time. The scene was much more exaggerated than before that Yang Hong was named the Marquis of Changping.

"Hu Aiqing, what's wrong?"

Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu looked at Hu Yi, Minister of Rites. He was the elder of the Five Dynasties and the only five ministers in his reign during the reign of the Emperor. Even as an emperor, he had to give him face.

"Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty is in trouble now, and the threat of the Tartars has not been completely lifted. The Ministry of War is very powerful and can be dispatched at all times. Mr. Chen is young and has no ability to clone his body. The old minister is worried that he will not be able to take on this important task."

Hu Yi said this, which won the secret nod from many officials.

He was in his early twenties and was able to wear a robe and became one of the six ministers. He was already at a high position at a young age.

Now he is in the cabinet to participate in the maintenance service. In addition, Chen Yichen himself has the title of Grand Secretary of the East Pavilion, which means he is a real cabinet master.

At the age of twenty-two, I can’t imagine how I will come!

"I am following the discussion of Da Zongbo, the cabinet minister holds the votes and plans to pay more power, and the Minister Chen still controls military power, which is not the way to govern the country!"

The Zuodu Censor Wang Wen stood up to oppose it, and what he said was more direct. The cabinet department and military power were integrated. Is this the need to cultivate a future powerful minister?

This kind of joint opposition scene naturally cannot be missing He Pingyan. He was severely suppressed by Chen Yichen in the morning because of the issue of avoidance. If this son entered the cabinet to participate in the maintenance service, how could he stay in the future?

"Mr. Chen did not summon troops to lead the army to the capital, and he was already suspected of treason. Later, he even ignored the Supreme Emperor in the enemy camp. It is not an exaggeration to be called a traitor. Please think twice!"

When He Pingyan's words came out, the effect was much more serious than Yu Qian's scolding Shi Heng. It was simply a murderous person. He wanted to label Chen Yichen as a traitor, which instantly triggered the discussion of the ministers inside and outside the hall.

"Chen Yichen disregards the Supreme Emperor in the enemy camp, is there such a thing?"

"It's not true. No matter what, the Supreme Emperor has been kind to Minister Chen, and he has also appointed him as the third grade. How can one be kind to repaid his grudges to such an extent?"

"If it is true, what are the faces of such an unfaithful and unrighteous person to be an official in the court?"

"Yes, it's simply shameful!"

Listening to the laughter and scolding coming from his ears, Chen Yichen's face changed a little. He didn't know whether He Pingyan's words were ignoring the Supreme Emperor in the enemy camp, whether he would discuss the simple dialogue between the country at night, or whether he would later attack the camp and abandon the Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen.

The former may have been spread through the secret orders of Yang Shan and Zhu Qizhen, but if the latter is the problem.

You should know that Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qizhen, was still on the hunting ground and could not contact the court at all, let alone He Pingyan learned about it. Who was the one who reported it?

"What, is Mr. Chen guilty?"

Feeling Chen Yichen's expression change, He Pingyan's face showed a happy smile. It was the first time that the two of them had the upper hand when they fought so many times. Chen Yichen's face changed drastically.

Faced with He Pingyan's ridicule, Chen Yichen calmed down. No matter whether what happened on the night of the camp was circulated, he could not admit it.

"I feel guilty? He Shaoqing, you should know that according to the "Da Ming Law", you should be punished by Shangguan for twenty-year punishment."

"Am I underestimating myself?"

He Pingyan sneered, and then continued, "The Supreme Emperor is just around the corner, but I am looking forward to how Minister Chen will defend himself at that time."

Just as the smell of gunpowder on both sides became stronger and stronger, a strong voice rang out from the generals' queue.

"Do you need a defense?"

The one who said this was not someone else, but the eldest son Zhu Yi.

He took a step forward, stood in front of He Pingyan with a powerful aura, and continued, "When the Mongolian army camp was attacked at night, I led the army in. Why don't I remember that He Shaoqing was also on the scene? Can you still know that Minister Chen was disregarding the Supreme Emperor?"

That's right, everything needs to be proved. That night, Duke Cheng led his army into the enemy camp, and there were only a few people involved. Unless Emperor Yingzong of Ming Dynasty Zhu Qizhen returned from Mobei and told himself that Chen Yichen abandoned him in the Mongolian army camp, who could prove it?

At the same time, Zhu Yi stood up to testify for Chen Yichen, representing the sidelines of Duke Cheng’s Mansion. There were a voice of condemning and scolding before, and it disappeared in an instant. This is the remaining power of Duke Guo of the Ming Dynasty!

Immediately after Cheng An, Guo Cheng stood up and said in a warning tone: "He Shaoqing, pay attention to evidence in everything, be careful of the disaster coming from the mouth."

Guo Cheng had no friendship with Chen Yichen, but her daughter Guo Yongxin owed Chen Yichen a kindness to tell Liu Qiu's grievances for Hanlin. Now Cheng Guo Duke's Mansion has completely stood in line with Chen Yichen, so as both the great generals, they naturally have to hug each other tightly.

Otherwise, if this trend continues, there will be no place for heroes and military generals to establish themselves in the court in the future!

"He Shaoqing, be careful of your words!"

Not only did the honor and general Qiwu stand up and shout out, but the cabinet minister Gao Yu also resolutely reminded He Pingyan not to talk nonsense.

Faced with the joint doubts of the ministers of honor and Qi, He Pingyan subconsciously wanted to refute, but he swallowed it. He could not tell the source of information behind him, otherwise it would be more than worth the loss.

"Ahem, He Shaoqing is indeed a little verbal, but young people are a little arrogant after all, so you don't have to make a big fuss."

Seeing that something was wrong, the right censor Yang Shan immediately stood up and helped He Pingyan smooth things over.

If it were the ordinary moment, Chen Yichen would definitely not miss the opportunity to turn black and white and beat the dog in the water. However, he had just mediated the conflict between Yu Qian and Shi Heng. If he had made a big deal now, the double standards would be too obvious.

There is no way, Chen Yichen can only miss this opportunity and choose to keep silent.

"What Yang Aiqing said is that it is normal for a young and young age to have some conflicts, so there is no need to mention this matter."

Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu ended this topic. After all, this matter was too sensitive. The Empress Dowager was still in charge of the affairs behind the curtain. If he continued to do so, the impact would be bad. In addition, today's grand dynasty meeting, he thought it was a joy to reward the ministers on his merits, but he did not expect that the quarrels would be filled with gunpowder.

Even the emperor, he felt extremely overwhelmed and a little exhausted.

"Your Majesty, I think it is indeed inappropriate for Minister Chen to enter the cabinet like this. How about setting up a minister of War to replace Minister Chen's affairs, just to join the cabinet to participate in the cabinet's participation in the cabinet?"

Chen Xun, the capital of the cabinet, who had always watched coldly, stood up and gave a compromise suggestion.

The six ministers of the Ming Dynasty were divided into real positions and empty positions. Especially after the status of the cabinet ministers increased greatly in the middle and late period, the rank of the fifth-rank palace and the rank of the fifth-rank palace was not enough, and people were given the title of the second-rank official of the sixth-rank official, which was worthy of the status and identity of the cabinet master.

As for the chief minister of the cabinet, the stronger ones were even given the titles of "Three Dukes" or "Three Orphans". For example, Zhang Juzheng, who was directly the Grand Tutor and the Grand Tutor of the Prince, was the Supreme Minister!

"I think there is nothing wrong with Mr. Chen. In recent years, whether he was leaving the town or governor of Liaodong military affairs, he proved that he was a capable minister who ruled the world."

"If such a capable minister does not handle military and national affairs, will he let me take power?"

Qian Xili, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, was also angry now. After all, he had the title of teacher and student with Chen Yichen. Making such great achievements was just to enter the cabinet and deprive the Minister of War of the Ministry of War. This was really too deceptive!

Seeing that the two sides were about to have another dispute, Queen Mother Sun, behind the pearl curtain, spoke out.
